Description:

Greetings, Class of 2016! 

WKU invites you to the 2012 Freshman Assembly on Tuesday, September 6, at 6:00PM in Diddle Arena. All freshmen are expected to attend unless you have a night class on Tuesday. This ceremony will be moderated by WKU President Gary Ransdell, and we are delighted to have Olympic gold medalist and WKU swimmer Claire Donahue as our featured guest speaker.

This year’s assembly will focus on making your time here at WKU “the best years of your life.”  Every freshman in attendance will receive a lapel pin during the ceremony.  This pin signifies the beginning of your college experience, and it reads, “WKU 2012: The Beginning…”  It also has an image of the Guthrie Tower in the center. The ceremony will end at approximately 6:45 p.m. 

While there is no need for “formal” dress, this is a ceremony. Please treat it as such by arriving on time, remaining attentive and keeping phones on silent and put away for this short ceremony. Again, the event will last about 45 minutes.

Be sure to BRING YOUR STUDENT ID CARD.  If you attend and have your card, you will be able to swipe it at a station that will capture your attendance as you exit Diddle Arena.  This electronic record is necessary to receive credit in classes awarding points for this event and to record your attendance for your Student Engagement Activities Transcript.

This ceremony will serve as a bookend to your future graduation ceremony.  Our hope is that you can wear this pin on your graduation day and reflect on your journey from this Freshman Assembly to your graduation from WKU.

All freshmen are expected to attend unless you have a night class on Tuesday. We will also have a drawing for four bicycles to aid four lucky students in navigating around the Hill this fall.
